The main trail in the preserve is a boardwalk that travels through mangrove swamp to a view of the intercoastal waterway. A sandy trail intersects the boardwalk to make a loop through a shady forest of cedar, palmetto, and Brazilian pepper. The boardwalk is a little over a mile roundtrip. I think this is probably a good bird watching trail but we saw very few on the cool, cloudy day of our visit.
The boardwalk section is accessible. We tried the the sandy trail going to the west and found too many roots.Traveling east we encountered fewer roots but we did hit a swampy area. The trail passes through the parking lot (where we stopped) and continues to return to the root filled section and the boardwalk.
The main parking lot is large enough for any RV but the entry road is narrow, one lane,and slightly overgrown with trees. Another option is the lot in the park behind the George Wickline Senior Center in Flagler Beach. Preserve 29.47626, -81.13344
Headed north already? Hoped you might have made it to the west coast of Florida before you leave the state.
ReplyDeleteNope, we're down in Miami! We've been going in circles a little on this Florida trip. We met my sister and brother-in-law in St Augustine and went down the coast with them. They're going back home tomorrow and we are starting across the state on our way to Mobile. We'll probably be in your area in by Tuesday,the 6th. Are you guys free for dinner? Maybe at your favorite Greek restaurant?
DeleteSent you an email...getting a place to park for your evening would be problematic...but I made suggestion in email. Looking forward to seeing you both.
DeleteYou gonna come by our place this year?
ReplyDeleteHi Chris! We're staying east for the spring and summer. We'll be heading west again in the fall but I'm not sure what route we'll be taking. In the meantime let us know if you're planning any trips that might intersect where we'll be. Hope all is going good for you guys!
DeleteWill be emailing you.
